Military screen equipment display question

First press e, then P to show Pri/Assignments.

There will be two pairs of gauntlets if you enable, for example, both handwear and gauntlets.

Like this:


Or this:



What does that mean? For example, if the dorf gets both a pair of high boots and low boots, he obviously won't wear both, but does that mean he will own the extra pair so other dorfs can't use them?

The extraneous items will remain reserved and others can't use them. Strictly speaking, the stuff is "owned" by the military position, not the dwarf who happens to fill it, not that it mattered in this case.

Thanks. I thought I could make then equip any armors available.

For example, a mail shirt and a breastplate but if they are not available, they can wear leather armor too.
Will that work if I just let them wear "armors"?
